Zhang Yong inquired about the details of the office.
Mei Lu told him that this was also a temporary decision made by Minister Anderson.
Therefore, the specific details need to wait until later.
But one thing is certain. That is, as long as Zhang Yong eliminates the Japanese spies in Kailuan Coal Mine, the British will not treat him badly.
Self-funded.
Own equipment.
Self-employed personnel.
The British are not responsible for any specific affairs. But they can give Zhang Yong some privileges.
What privilege?
It is equivalent to the privileges of British diplomatic envoys.
Including but not limited to free entry and exit of the British Concession, etc.
"oh?"
Zhang Yong's eyes lit up.
This seems to be very important.
Because there is also a British Concession in Shanghai. The management there is stricter.
Mainly because there was a Japanese assistant to the police chief. What was his name? I forgot. That guy controlled the patrol room.
If you enter using the identity of the Fuxing Society's Secret Service, you will definitely be faced with difficulties.
However, it should be much more convenient if you use the identity of the Kailuan Coal Mine Office to enter. The Japanese may not know it at all.
right!
Yes. This is very important. It must be confirmed repeatedly.
There is no room for error.
"Can I freely enter and leave the British Concession in Shanghai?"
"sure."
"are you sure?"
"I have asked you just now. Minister Anderson promised that it is absolutely possible. Otherwise, you can call him directly."
"That's no problem."
Zhang Yong nodded. As expected of his own woman, she grasped the key points.
Tianjin Wei's British concession is not important. What is important is the public concession in Shanghai. He may need to handle many affairs there in the future. It is very important to have a legal identity.
"Then I will reply to Minister Anderson."
"No. Wait. I'll reply later tonight."
"That's fine!"
Mei Lu understood what he meant.
This guy is obviously interested, but he still wants to raise the price.
Deliberately waiting until evening to reply so that I don't look so cheap. This is the Chinese people's thick and dark knowledge. It's a pity that the British don't follow this trick.
For the British, as long as you agree, it will be fine. They will not raise the price.
"Ring ring ring..."
"Ring ring ring..."
Suddenly a phone rang.
Mei Lu looked at the phone and then at Zhang Yong. Are you looking for him?
Zhang Yong stood up and went to answer the phone.
Who called?
Will Yuan Wenhui?
Haha, this grandson is finally willing to meet the second uncle?
Come……
Your second uncle gives you a kick!
Pick up the phone.
The result was a strange voice. It was sure. I had never heard it before.
"Is this Mr. Zhang Yong?"
"Yes. I'm Zhang Yong, from the Fuxing Society Secret Service. Any advice?"
"I'm from the British Chamber of Commerce."
"British Chamber of Commerce?"
Zhang Yong turned his head and waved to Mei Lu.
Mei Lu then stood up, walked over and stood beside him.
"Yes. From the British Chamber of Commerce."
"Are you looking for me?"
"According to the wishes of the Minister, I have a batch of goods that I want to give to you."
"What kind of goods?"
"The address is at Dagukou Pier. Yinglun Port. Warehouse No. 17. You can pick it up yourself!"
"what exactly is it……"
Before Zhang Yong could finish speaking, the other party hung up the phone.
Obviously, this made Zhang Yong very unhappy. He immediately called and scolded him.
Damn you, are you in a hurry to be reincarnated before you finish speaking? Are you going to turn into a pig? Wait, I won’t call you a bloody bitch!
British Chamber of Commerce!
Is the British Chamber of Commerce great?
Mud...
As a result, Mei Lu gently held his hand, and his anger slowly dissipated.
"It's arms!" Mei Lu whispered in his ear.
"What?" Zhang Yong was stunned.
arms?
Is there such a good thing?
When did the British become so generous that they were willing to send arms to themselves?
"It's equipment for a battalion."
"What?"
Zhang Yong was stunned again.
She looked at Mei Lu suspiciously, not quite believing it.
Equipment for a battalion! No joke. That is quite valuable.
The salary the British offer themselves is only five hundred pounds a month. How can they be willing to give themselves a battalion of equipment?
impossible!
There is a conspiracy.
His eyes were shining brightly, staring at Mei Lu.
Mei Lu bit her lip lightly. She felt that this guy must have had random thoughts.
Isn’t it just the bridal chamber? I’m so anxious...
He whispered: "I know that Warehouse No. 17. I went there before. There are many rifles and light machine guns in it."
"Really?" Zhang Yong's eyes sparkled.
In this case, the guy just now was not deceiving himself.
Mei Lu then introduced it in detail.
All are light weapons. There are no heavy weapons.
There are no heavy machine guns.
There are no mortars.
The bullets are all 7.7mm rifle bullets. There are a lot of them. There are 800,000 rounds.
Although there are no heavy machine guns and mortars, the rifles and light machine guns are both good.
The rifle is the British 77. The light machine gun is an improved version of the Czech type, also called the Bren light machine gun. Some people also translate it as the Bolen light machine gun. It uses a curved magazine and has a capacity of 30 rounds.
The original Czech type used a straight magazine with a capacity of only 20 rounds. Its firepower was relatively weak. The British purchased its patent and improved it. Its overall performance is much stronger.
"Strange, why would the British give me a battalion of equipment?"
"I need something from you."
"Wouldn't it be better to give me five thousand pounds a month?"
"It's not about money."
"That……"
"I guess they want to lend you a hand and transfer some of the weapons and ammunition to the 29th Army."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
"You definitely can't ask for so many weapons and ammunition. You can only give them to others. Who should you give them to? It's best to give them to the 29th Army. You have a good relationship with Commander Zhang, so you can give them to him."
"Why?"
"The relationship between the British and the Japanese is becoming increasingly tense. The conflict of interests is very serious. But they are very weak in North China. They have no troops and only mine protection teams. Their number is less than a thousand. They cannot fight against the Japanese. They want to give
The Japanese can only exert pressure by relying on the strength of the Chinese. Strengthening the combat effectiveness of the 29th Army will be of great benefit to the British without any harm."
"That battalion's equipment is useless!"
"This is just the beginning. If you can ensure the normal operation of the Kailuan Coal Mine, the British will definitely give you some benefits later."
"Is it all weapons and equipment?"
"Probably. They don't lack this the most. They have enough equipment for several thousand people and ten thousand people. The key is that they must feel valuable. The things they send out can play a corresponding role."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.
Of course the British didn't mean well. They just wanted to take advantage of them.
But it doesn't matter. If you are used, you will be used. The 29th Army does need weapons and ammunition right now, especially those generals who are determined to resist Japan.
Last time at the headquarters of the 34th Division, Zhang Yong discovered that the weapons and equipment of this division were not good.
The main force of the 29th Army was stationed near Peiping. It almost seemed like they had given up on the Tianjin Guard. Naturally, Zhang Kexia was not welcomed by others.
Okay. Just give him a hand and see if you can kill a few more Japanese invaders.
But now, there is no time to go to Dagukou Pier to pick up the goods.
More than a hundred kilometers!
It takes half a day to go back and forth by car. The roads are not safe either.
We need to wait until the matters here are dealt with, free up our hands, and then join forces with Mr. Zhang to act together.
Now, we must first explore the secret passage.
There is actually a secret passage from Fuli Palace to Yuan Mansion. It is also amazing.
I didn't know who built it at first. I admire such a big hand.
Wave. Invite Bahu to come over.
"What's up?"
"Brother, do you have claustrophobia?"
"What disease?"
"Are you afraid of digging into the tunnel?"
"What's there to be afraid of?"
"It may take several kilometers to drill."
"Not afraid."
"Okay. Let's get ready to go down."
"good!"
Zhang Yong led people to search for the tunnel entrance.
At this time, the two spies Tong Tiangong and Yu Hongzhi must be present!
Who discovered the tunnel? Of course it was the two of them.
After capturing the Yuan Mansion, we had to publicize the achievements of these two people and make Maochuanxiu vomit blood.
"Huh? How do you know there is a tunnel?"
No, Ba Huhu finally came to his senses and asked doubtfully.
It’s so strange, how come Zhang Yong knows everything?
Know the secret door of Fuli Palace.
Do you know there is an underground tunnel in Fuli Palace?
Who told him? He is a migrant, so he can't know, right?
His eyes couldn't help but fall on Tong Tiangong and Yu Hongzhi.
Could it be these two guys again?
Zhang Yong just happened to see Ba Huhu's confused look and immediately added the blow, "Yes, that's what they told me."
"No wonder..." Ba Huhu looked strange.
believe.
No doubt.
It's just a little boring.
These two guys had never been mentioned to him before. Apparently they were not very familiar with Bahu.
As soon as Zhang Yong arrived, these two guys were very excited and told Zhang Yong all the secrets. No wonder Mr. Qu's Yao Gua showed that Zhang Yong was a man of great luck.
awesomeness.
Without having to do anything, these two guys just stuck it.
Anyway, I have taken good care of my junior brother. It will not be difficult at all for him to become the master of Iron Wire Boxing in the future.
"I……"
Tong Tiangong always felt that something was wrong.
Why did Zhang Yong know the entrance to the tunnel? Who told him?
It doesn’t look like a tiger!
Could it be a traitor?
Yes! A traitor! Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
Zhang Yong has mentioned before that he once developed spies among the Japanese.
Only the top brass of the Maochuan Mansion know about the tunnels of Fuli Palace, and they must have leaked the secret. It seems that this spy is of a very high level...
Could it be Mokawa Hide?
I was startled immediately. Cold sweat broke out from my back.
How could you have such a ridiculous idea? Shigekawa Hide is the head of the secret service!
The head of the secret service is actually a spy?
joke……
However, it’s not impossible!
The only one who knows so many secrets of Fuli Palace may be Mokawa Hide...
Don't dare to think too much.
The more I think about it, the more afraid I become.
"Bang!"
Zhang Yong kicked open a door.
Unexpectedly, it was discovered that there were actually the bodies of two women inside.
Huh?
what's the situation?
Turning to look at Cao Mengqi.
Cao Mengqi shook his head and said that they did not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
"It's poison!"
After checking it, Yang Zhi looked strange.
Both women died after taking poison, but there were many bruises on their bodies, like trauma.
"suicide?"
"No. It was forced into me."
"oh?"
Zhang Yong did not expect that there would be extraneous problems.
However, Fuli Palace was originally a place where three religions and nine streams were mixed together.
No one can tell what happened before.
These two women seem to be from Belarus. The background is even more complicated.
There are many Belarusian women in Shanghai. There are even more in the north. There are also many in Tianjin. There are more in Fengtian (Shenyang) and Xinjing (Changchun) in the three eastern provinces.
As for the famous ice city Harbin, it goes without saying. The streets are full of Belarusians.
Borscht and other things were brought by the White Russians.
The huge Fuli Palace has hundreds of rooms. Among them, there are two to three hundred guest rooms. It is not an exaggeration to call it a luxury hotel.
There are some strange things in the guest room. See you soon.
Some things are nasty and indescribable.
In future generations, they will definitely be investigated one after another.
However, in this chaotic era, there is really no law. The nastier you are, the more popular you are.
Zhang Yong said that he is very perverted. But he still feels perverted. Many times he does not dare to look further.
Afraid of learning bad things...
“Register it!”
"yes!"
Zhang Yong has no time to deal with these accidents at the moment. He has to deal with the tunnels first.
Go around to the storage room in the back.
The entrance to the tunnel is in the underground storage room.
Open the tunnel door.
The air inside is actually not too turbid.
Enter.
The tunnel is a bit narrow and can only accommodate three people walking side by side. The height is estimated to be about two meters.
The amount of work is indeed very large.
It should be noted that in this era, there are no excavators or TBMs. Excavation is purely based on manual labor.
The manpower, material and financial resources that need to be mobilized are countless.
What's more, there is no cement or anything like that. They are all piled up with stones and wood.
Even Yuan Wenhui may not have such great energy.
It’s so strange, who dug this tunnel?
go ahead.
nobody.
All the way to the sewer.
Fortunately, it didn't rain.
But there must be dirty water and stuff. And rats.
nausea.
dirty.
Fortunately, they are all men. They are not afraid when they arrive.
Pass quickly.
Finally, we gradually approached Yuan Mansion.
At this moment, the map showed that there were more than a dozen small white dots approaching on the other side of the tunnel.
Zhang Yong immediately made a gesture.
No need to guess, he definitely ran out of Yuan Mansion.
It seems that Yuan Wenyao is not that strong-willed and wants to run away. I thought this guy was going to defend Yuan Mansion!
It looks like they are going to Fuli Palace?
wrong……
Authentic middlemen have exports.
Come out of Yuan Mansion. Follow the tunnel and take the nearest exit.
The golden cicada is literally shedding its shell!
Fortunately, I was hit by myself.
Otherwise, when you rush into Yuan Mansion, you will find that everyone inside has run away...
wrong.
Can't run. The system map is monitored.
He only needs to get close to the Yuan Mansion and keep it within 350 meters, and he can monitor the movements of the people inside.
If someone in the Yuan Mansion ran away, he would just go in to receive them.
This is his grandson's home.
There must be some valuable items there.
You can take away the free money, but you definitely can't take away the other things.
Unexpectedly, I encountered him first in a dark tunnel.
Okay. Give the other party a blow in the head.
However, the tunnel is narrow and there is no way to ambush. We can only face each other face to face.
The other party must also have a gun. So don't think about capturing him alive. When you meet, it's just a firefight. The main thing is to be fast, accurate and ruthless.
The enemy must be crushed with the most ferocious firepower.
Zhang Yong himself had long been hiding behind the crowd.
really……
The enemy appears.
Holding the fire folding bag, he staggered over.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Cao Mengqi and others quickly opened fire.
Unfortunately, the space is small and only three Thompson submachine guns can exert firepower.
However, this is enough.
After a hail of bullets, the enemy in front fell immediately.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Keep firing,
When you run out of bullets, change your gun immediately.
It's not about changing the drum. That's a waste of time. It's about changing the gun directly.
Throw the empty gun to the people behind. The people behind will hand the loaded Thompson submachine gun to Cao Mengqi and others.
Always maintain suppressive fire.
The dense rain of bullets killed all the people behind.
The narrow tunnel gave Thomson the best opportunity to perform. The enemy had no way to escape.
finally……
The last enemy falls.
The gunfire stopped completely.
Zhang Yong breathed a sigh of relief. He looked ahead and found that Cao Mengqi was still alive.
This guy is really brave and brave!
As long as Cao Mengqi is arranged to do anything that requires no brain, this guy can reach the sky. Blue weapons can often do as much damage as gold weapons.
Zhang Yong came up from behind and found all kinds of gold and silver belongings scattered on the floor in the tunnel.
They were originally packed with boxes, but many of them were smashed and fell to the ground. They were all scattered and fell among the corpses.
well……
He really wants to run away!
He wanted to run away with Yuan Mansion's riches! But he was caught by himself.
Hmm. I'm lucky.
Unfortunately, it may take a lot of time to sort out these floating wealth.
"Third Master!"
Zhang Yong prepared to call two spy puppets to come up again.
Such a good tool must be put to good use.
Even if there is only the last bit of use value, all must be extorted.
"I?"
Tong Tiangong comes up.
Zhang Yong nodded.
"Help us identify Yuan Wenyao."
"he……"
Tong Tiangong glanced at it.
Shake his head.
Yuan Wenyao was not seen.
Bahu also came up. He looked carefully and found that it was indeed not there.
Zhang Yong frowned.
Yuan Wenyao is not here?
He sent someone to deliver things, but he was still in Yuan Mansion?
That's okay.
Continue the assault.
In the remaining few hundred meters, I don’t know if Yuan Gongguan heard any gunshots.
Logically speaking, they were all gunshots and no explosions. And since they were underground, they should not have heard it. Therefore, they could still get out of the tunnel and bloom in the center of Yuan Mansion.
but……
Suddenly, Zhang Yong thought of a very scary thing. If someone exploded in front...
They will all be buried alive in the tunnel.
faint……
I was immediately frightened.
Go quickly!
Go quickly!
Ignore the treasures on earth.
Don't be buried alive all at once. What's the use of having more gold, silver and jewelry?
Just say that something felt wrong before.
It turns out that when you attack others, you are also in great danger.
Run!
Race against time!
As Zhang Yong ran, he kept mumbling, "Don't get into trouble, don't get into trouble..."
I secretly vowed that I would not give up a penny of Yuan Wenhui's property. I would also ensure that I was safe and sound. I would never be buried alive in the tunnel...
Finally, we approached Yuan Mansion.
Then I breathed a sigh of relief.
Feeling relieved.
Not buried alive. Still alive.
I feel a little regretful. I wouldn’t have sworn if I had known about it. I feel so heartbroken.
Yuan Wenhui had so many possessions, how could he not want any of them?
But……
After all, I swore an oath.
What if it comes true?
have a bee in one's bonnet……
Worrying about gains and losses...
Fortunately, people here don't seem to have noticed anything unusual yet.
So, they successfully escaped from the tunnel.
Just then, I saw a man in a silk gown lying on a wicker chair next to him, picking his teeth leisurely...
